Say hypothetically you've got copper in guttering which a metal buyer would buy for $3k, do the demolishers reduce their bill because they can get that money back? Or, alternately, do they care if you pull it down yourself & sell it?

They go in, smash it up and cart it away. I dont think they care if you take anything off the house that you might get money for.

Once you start ripping things apart it can damage the asbestos and cause major problems. We are thinking of trying to sell the 'nearly new' carpet and a few other things but nothing that will disturb any of the asbestos, so probably the kitchen, bathroom and laundry will not be touched. In regard to reduced costs... if only... the only way is to sell things yourself and get money that way... I'm pretty sure it all gets put into a truck and taken to an authorised 'dumping ground'... Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 8Mar 20, 2013 6:23 pm We demolished an old house but had plenty of trees removed as well. It was like a jungle. We had three quotes of 25000, 21000 and 17000 dollars so you can guess which one we picked. We are happy with the job although our hardifence is damaged on the bottom in places. Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 10Mar 20, 2013 9:08 pm Hi shopgirl Give AAAGS demolition a ring.They just finished our job in the hurstville area but they are based in gosford ,so your area would be good for them.The manager is Matt and his mobile is 0401 938 771. Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 11Mar 20, 2013 9:23 pm Hi we had a small 2bd fibro asbestos house plus a granny flat with asbestos roof plus asbestos garage demolished for around $12500 inc GST. This included removing all trees/plants under 3m high, water and electrical disconnection and security fence. We used Democorp. They are very popular around my area here in Putney/Gladesville. THey do a really good job. Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 13Mar 21, 2013 11:42 am Aheron, one of our quotes is from Matt - AAAGS, great quote and a good price plus he is a really nice guy.. Purple2fish, might have to get another quote from Democorp just to confuse us because Matt's quote is really good.

Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 15Apr 30, 2013 4:51 pm hi guys, I am looking to Demolish my fibro house. my council tells me that i need to submit a DA with the demolish plan to get this approved. This is separate to DA application to build as our builder (rawson) will not coordinate the demolition. This will cost another council application fee and may take upto 2 months to get this approved... Rawson said they will only give us 2 weeks to clear the property after DA approval. Has anyone submitted the Demolition DA application with the development DA application? would that work? I was told Demolition approval by the council will last 5 years. Is that true? what is the cost effective way Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 17May 01, 2013 3:33 pm my council doesnt allow anyone with less than 450m2 to go to CDC... not sure about other councils... i cant also take my development to CDC as well...

Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 19May 03, 2013 12:57 pm thanks Aheron.. it makes sense.. i will get a head start so i wont have to worry about clearing out of the property for construction to start.. i hear builder can charge you if you don't clear out and handover the property on time. Re: Demolition Cost - NSW 20May 06, 2013 9:13 am my council require the following.. 1. Full description & an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the demolition works 2. Full site plan showing clearly all buildings/structures/vegetation on the site, including those for demolition has anyone submitted them? Can I do them myself? or do i need pro to do this? or would the demolition company do this for me? having built on acres several times i suggest that you also need to add the cost of a sewerage system and any associated fencing, water tanks with associated extra… 2 4617 Hi, For what it’s worth, best getting as many quotes as possible.
